City Witchcraft

“You simply need to open your eyes, ears and heart to the magick all around you.” – Christopher Penczak


Gathered together for the first time, here you will find the ground breaking columns of Christopher Penczak from the first years of newWitch magazine. The City Witch column followed his experiences and insights traveling the country, interacting with the spirits of place in urban environments and the challenges of practicing magick on the road. City Witch continued the teachings found in his award winning book, City Magick. Through the introduction, learn about the impetus of the column and his reflections looking back on the book that started it all. City Witchcraft brings all the original articles together, with new editing and art, to provide inspiration for a new generation of Witches, magicians and shamans living on the road and in the city, helping them find the magick wherever they are.
